To start, I'm a NICET Level 2 designer. Certified in Water Based Systems Layout. I began working as a fire suppression designer in February of 2007. I passed my level 1 test in November of 2008 and my level 2 test in October of 2009. I have yet to venture into Level 3... but we're not getting into the reasons for that just yet... My Level 1 and 2 testing were on the now outmoded WORK ELEMENT format.

I've created this page in the hopes that other entry level, to moderately experienced, sprinkler systems designers can find some useful information that I myself have found to be seriously lacking despite the vast expanse of information available on this thing we call "THE INTERNET."

It may take some time to post everything (though not much) I'd like to share with other young designers looking for an inexpensive way to gain knowledge and prepare for NICET certifications, but I genuinely want this to help you find the information that you have been unable to locate yourself without spending money blindly hoping what your paying for is what you get... because sometimes you have no idea what you're actually paying for.
